Interacting with the production server

Documentation

Registering equipment on the IoT platform

For automatic registration of manufactured equipment, data is transferred from the production server to the IoT platform.

Data transferred during registration

Telemetry parameters:
- IMEI — unique device identifier.
- ICCID (optional) — SIM card identifier (relevant for devices with a pre-installed SIM or SIMChip).
Energy metering equipment parameters (when connected):
- Metering device type (e.g. water, gas meter).
- Manufacturer (name of the manufacturing company).
- Device model name.
- Serial number (if available).
- Network address — ModBUS address.
General metering unit information:
- Metering unit name.
- Consumer — the organization or object to which the node is linked.
- Consumer category (industrial, commercial, household).
- Resource-supplying organization — the energy resource supplier.

Data transfer to the production server

The following data is transferred to monitor reliability and analyze equipment operation throughout the entire life cycle:

Regularly transferred parameters

Session timestamp — date and start and end of transfer.
Session duration — duration of data exchange (in seconds).
Battery charge:
- Metrological part (in mV) — charge level of the battery responsible for measurements.
- Telemetry part (in mV) — charge level of the communication module battery.
Signal level (RSSI) — communication signal level (in dBm).
Number of retries — number of unsuccessful communication attempts before the current session.
Retry code — error type for previous failures (e.g. “No response from server”).
Event ID — session start reason:
- Scheduled;
- Manual start;
- Emergency event.
Communication session status — transfer result (e.g. Successful, Connection failure).
Archive data:
- Accidents and abnormal situations;
- Status of the shutdown device (if any).
Archive transfer periods:
- Hourly archive — time range of transferred data.
- Daily archive — time range of transferred data.

Transferring data from the IoT platform to devices

The platform sends the following commands and settings to the IoT devices:

Current time — to synchronize the device’s internal clock with the recording of deviations.
Next communication session time — the scheduled time of the next data exchange.
Control commands (e.g. activation/deactivation of the shutdown device) initiated by the operator.
